Articles by Elisabetta Franzoso
All articles are written in line with my unique approach to coaching using the 4 Dimensions methodology. The 4 Dimensions take the following basic human aspects into account:
Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Relational to help you discover for yourself what is holding you back and to reshape your life from the inside out. I have also added two additional dimensions, spiritual and confidence as these are integral to my work and coaching process.
Enjoy!
The Physical Dimension
The Physical Dimension explores the part of us that communicates with the external world, our body which is the temple and container of our mind. Within this dimension I address physical confidence and explore the importance of movement and nutrition and sleep patterns.

The Emotional Dimension
The Emotional Dimension looks in particular at the right part of the brain, where your emotions stem out. Emotions are crucial to us being human. I look at the importance of the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in building confidence in ourselves and relationships with others.

The Intellectual Dimension
The Intellectual Dimension looks at the left part of our brain ‘the thinking or logical mind’. This is where we we think, analyze, judge and critique. Many of us find that we have been conditioned to think and talk in a negative way, which is why I explore ways we can rewind this.

The Relational Dimension
The Relational Dimension looks at how human beings build relationships. There are different kinds of relationships we can build and learn from. It’s important to explore all of our relationships or lack of - whether that was with our parents, partners, teachers, friends or children.

The Spiritual Dimension
The Spiritual Dimension looks at how human beings incorporate spirituality into their lives. This doesn’t just have to mean religion, Spirituality can manifest within your life in many shapes and forms. It can have a profound impact on the other dimensions.

Defining Spirituality & Rebranding God
was very disconnected from anything I could not prove or touch for many years. Mystery was not my thing. This probably came from the model I’d absorbed growing up: that I had to manage everything by myself, I had to make it all happen on my own and most importantly, that I could not trust anyone or anything besides myself.
The Danger of Spiritual Indifference
“Religions have caused a lot of pain and trouble over hundreds and thousands of centuries but at their core, they offered us the possibility for spiritual experience and connection. They served a purpose which has now been totally lost in the whirlwind of skepticism we developed to protect ourselves against the unveiled dogma and corruption.”
The Shift to a New Way of Living
I believe we are living in a very exciting and powerful time. You may not agree with this of course, we’re different human beings with different backgrounds, experiences and different conditioning. We’re allowed to see things in different ways and no one would be bad or wrong for doing so.
Why do I think it’s an exciting and powerful time? I feel that on the deepest level of consciousness, a radical spiritual transformation is taking place in a universal scale. We’re all in some way being challenged to let go of our present way of living and create a new one in its place.
Life Is Not a Battle
Scott Peck opened his bestseller, The Road Less Travelled, stating that “Life is Difficult”. Buddhism tells us that “Life is Suffering”. Christianity teaches us that “Life is Sacrifice”. Have we been misled?
Ego-Driven vs. God-Driven Purpose
The search for the purpose of life has puzzled us for thousands of years. That’s because we typically begin at the wrong place - with ourselves.
The Importance of Trusting Our Intuition
We grow up, into ‘responsible adults’ thinking that we’re becoming more loving and more wise, but blind to what we’ve left behind because of fear and life experience. That wise, loving and responsible centre of ours is what we truly are underneath it all.
